Oatlands Club Tournament - 26th August 2006


62 enthusiastic players came to Northmead Bowling Club yesterday to contest Arie Holla's annual Oatlands Tournament. One of the most enthusiastic was 11 year old Michael McKenna who was making the transition from Junior Tournament to grownups. I am pleased to report that not a single tear was shed, but mind you he did win a creditable four games out of seven played. I think we will be seeing much more of this delightful young lad.

A feature of the day was the healthy array of prizes on offer in the raffle. Arie and his team had put together numerous baskets of food goodies filling a whole table, meaning there would be many winners and ensuring nearly everyone stayed for the prize-giving at the end of play.

Recreation was won by Nicholas Cavenagh, from Balmain Club. At this stage we are still not sure whether he was a novice. Intermediate went to local player Krystyna Batten, the only player on the day to win all games. Robyne Williams was second recording a rating gain of 111 and putting her in contention for the tournament medal. In Advanced, retiree Sam Greenberg took out the honours in a close contest.

The Masters section was not decided until the last move, in which I played out with MODIFIED for 80 plus catching John Barker with 16 on his rack and catapulting me ahead of Chris May on spread.

A great day was had by all - thank you Arie and Ann. Anyone who deliberately stayed away must have had rocks in their head!
